Initiating a Conversation with the Children:We separated into two small groups for our morning meeting. We began the conversations by reminding the children of our shadows at night home research and remarking on a comment made by Jack made, in a previous "shadows at night" small group, as he was reflecting on the photographs he took and shared: “How can we know if there are shadows at night if we never come to school at night?” -Jack
We need more big questions to do research about. “When we bring light, it will shone it, and that’s what makes the shadows. If there’s so much light on the ground, we won’t see it. So if we bring the light, we will see the shadows, and that’s shadows at night. If we go out with the light, and turn out the lights, we will see the shadows.” - Lochie Do we want to come to school at night? “Yes!” - all/most Do we agree that we need to spend time outside and inside? “Yes!” - all/most Do we agree ot the idea that we need some light- flashlights, lanterns…? “Yes!”- all And we have questions about shadows at night. We would want to experiment with some shadows; is that true? “Yeah, and we need you if we are going to come to school at night, we need you to get the key.” - Jack Capturing St. John's Portrait - Our Work ContinuesWe were back at work on the St. John's portrait to continue toward making the gift for the birthday celebration on March 4th. CC, Audrey, and Jack captivated audiences as they expressed their attention to detail in their drawings of the school's facade. We look forward to reflecting tomorrow on the drawings we have so far and next steps!
